Buggy, Carriage & Wagon Collection

A curated collection of over 250 historic buggies, carriages, and wagons.

The Buggy, Carriage & Wagon Collection showcases more than 250 restored and preserved horse-drawn vehicles spanning the 19th and early 20th centuries. Visitors can see everyday farm wagons, elegant passenger carriages, surreys, and specialty buggies that illustrate regional design, craftsmanship, and transportation history.

Why it matters

Visitor experience

The collection is displayed in well-lit galleries and outdoor settings that make it easy to compare styles and functions. Highlights include rare show carriages, working wagons, and examples with original fittings. The exhibit is ideal for history lovers, photographers, school groups, and anyone curious about how communities moved people and goods before motor vehicles.
